The 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino from April 26-30 was a huge success both on and off the poker tables.

Each day during the festival, Cash Game Festival Commentator Brandon Allen hosted two feature tables. The first table was a lower stakes affair before the stakes moved higher for the later stream.

Among the bigger winners were Estonian poker player and coach Mark Joa who banked a profit of nearly €3,000 during one 2 1/2 televised session of €5/€10 no-limit hold'em on Day 3 and was the big winner again with €2,000 in profit at the same game and stakes during the late feature table on Day 5.

Also winning big during the festival was 26-year old Spanish poker pro David Huerga Hierro who won €2,300 on the same table of Jua's first huge win on Day 3 and more during other streams and side tables.

Of course, there was tons of hold'em and Omaha played. Sviten Special also made an appearance as did a €5/€5 super dealer's choice game in back to back nights on Day 3 and Day 4 which included Finnish variations of super-stud high-low with wild cards, three to five board Omaha, pyramid Omaha, Indian head poker and more.

Activities off the felt were equally amazing to the action at the poker tables. The festival began with welcome drinks at the casino. The following day, poker players were treated to an afternoon at the gun range before heading to a VIP dinner in the evening. On Day 3, players were invited to a spectacular VIP party at the casino. Day 4 featured a disc golf competition, which was won by Cash Game Festival veteran Peter La Terra. On the final day of the festival, players visited the Estonian Maritime Museum.

The success at the Cash Game Festival Tallinn followed two great festivals earlier this year at Aspers Casino in London during February and at Perla Casino in Nova Gorica, Slovenia in March.
